Our Review
The Clearaudio Concept Turntable is the German company's most budget-friendly option. It's a well-thought-out design, not just a bunch of costly parts. The shape and features make it look great in this price range.
It's easy to use and perform well. Set it up by putting the platter on the spindle. The pre-calibrated Concept MM cartridge is a plus. The speed-changing knob also makes it user-friendly. The chassis, motor, and tonearm work together for low-noise performance.

When not in use, unplug the power supply to save energy and protect the components. If you register the turntable with Clearaudio, you'll get a 2 - year manufacturer warranty for peace of mind.
